Al Gore and Earth Day
Symbolic gestures?
Spotted at Counting Cats
Remember Earth Hour last weekend when we were all exhorted to switch our lights off for an hour? Well that great apocalyptic evangelist and climate change tax gatherer Al Gore appears to have remembered to tell us to do what we are told whilst we politicians will do whatever we like .
Kleinheider revealed:
I pulled up to Al’s house, located in the posh Belle Meade section of Nashville, at 8:48pm – right in the middle of Earth Hour. I found that the main spotlights that usually illuminate his 9,000 square foot mansion were dark, but several of the lights inside the house were on.
In fact, most of the windows were lit by the familiar blue-ish hue indicating that floor lamps and ceiling fixtures were off, but TV screens and computer monitors were hard at work. (In other words, his house looked the way most houses look about 1:45am when their inhabitants are distractedly watching “Cheaters” or “Chelsea Lately” reruns.)
The kicker, though, were the dozen or so floodlights grandly highlighting several trees and illuminating the driveway entrance of Gore’s mansion.
And you wonder why so many people get just a wee bit sceptical and distrustful of politicians?
